Maiperbian Professional Sports Wire
Sponsored by the MPSA

One of the few things that were banned under the very fair Crockettonian dynasty was professional sport. After the news came that King Joseph is due to resign and end the 171 year Crockettonian era, Monat Grabasiano has wasted no time in updating the previously known Maiperbian Sports Association (MSA) to the Maiperbian Professional Sports Association (MPSA or just PSA). The first professional sports event is set up by the Professional Boxing Committee (PBC) and is the quarter finals for the PBC Championships. Badminton,Tennis and Golf are all believed to make the move to professional by the end of this year with Handball, Basketball, Rugby, Cricket and Ice-Hockey due to step up in the new year. In this thread I will post all the latest results amongst the various sports.

All records and past winners and other bits of history will be published in the factbook and this thread will be cleared every few months.

If you wish to have a fixture against any Maiperbian team/player in any sport just telegram me and we can sort things out.

PBC Championship Quarterfinals

First PBC Championship Doesn't Disappoint
Days after professional sport is legalised in Maiperbia and the PBC have already organised and put on a show in Crockettham thanks to the quick thinking of PBC president Benito Avila.

Golf in Johnston Provides a Treat(13/11/15)
After the huge success of the Crockettham game, Johnston had a huge expectation resting on it's shoulders but it did not disappoint. There was a three-way tie in the men's game with only 5 strokes separating the top from the bottom. Whilst there were no hole-in-ones in the Johnston game, there was still plenty of excitement as golf looks like it has a prosperous Maiperbian future. PGC President, Carole Henson said, "It's great, it really is, golf is the ultimate game socially and professionally, it's looking like its taking Maiperbia by storm." So it is, we look forward to the following 13 games.

PBC Fight Night

Juarez Shows There Is Still Life In Old Dog

It was a highly anticipated night as the Professional Boxing Committee (PBC) put on its first Fight Night outside of the Maiperbian Boxing Championship (MBC). Whilst no belts were on the line, it was a chance for some of the boxers who had been knocked out of the MBC to regain their confidence and prove a point.

Weighing in at 246.6 pounds and 248.7 pounds, the beasts battled it out in a five-round fight where someone would have to lose two in a row. A fate worse than death. The rest of the fights were three rounds.

The full results are below:

T Buckley 48–47 M Pollard
